Social and Liturgical Gatherings
Masks please!
Due to the current surge in Covid cases, all social gatherings in the parish are temporarily suspended and many ministries have moved their meetings online.
Although there is no mandate from the Town of Ridgefield, First Selectman Rudy Marconi has requested that everyone in the community voluntarily wear their masks when you are out and about. Please wear your mask to church for the safety of everyone, and to help prevent the spread of the virus.

MADE FOR MORE
World renowned speaker and author Christopher West, along with musician, Mike Mangione, are coming to St Mary with an all-new event called MADE FOR MORE: VISIONS OF THE PROMISED LAND.
Through live music, sacred and secular art, and dynamic presentation, the Made for More event, unfolds key themes of St. John Paul II’s teaching on the human person and human sexuality to illuminate the “sacramentality of the world” – how this physical world reveals the spiritual and divine mysteries that correspond to the deepest questions and longings of the human heart.
Christopher West will be the main speaker, author of the best-selling Theology of the Body for Beginners: Rediscovering the Meaning of Life, Love, Sex, and Gender as well as a global lecturer, author of many best-selling books and multiple audio and video programs, all which have made him the world’s most recognized teacher of John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” – a bold, biblical vision of love and sexuality.
Bring family and friends. No one should miss this awesome and inspiring event! It will sell out, so get your tickets early!
Brought to you by St Mary Parish, Our Lady of Fatima & Church of the Holy Spirit.
